Bobby Covert Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I was confused too by the model # too. It was the heaviest b-model I ever saw. With all the people around and the close parking I couldn't get a good shot of the rears.I really enjoy Mid America show, but there are too many 2 year old Pete's and KW's . They all kind of look alike to me.Guess that's why I have what I have.

mackniac Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 you guy's amaze me !! how do you know a B73 from a B83 or vice versa is the difference that easy to pick ?

j hancock Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 All the B80 series have the square construction style fenders and very heavy cast radiator.Exception of course are fire trucks like B85.This truck has the cast aluminum radiator, standard round fenders and extended hood which make this a B73, 75, 77 depending on engine.After a while Mack model numbers will make sense.......I think!Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

j hancock Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Did anyone determine the power on this rig?Sort of looks like the there is an exhaust pipe on the outside of the frame rail behind the right front tire.

Reuhlz Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I saw this truck on TV once. This one has the custom bulldog grill cover that you can't mistake. The TV show was documenting a truck show in TX with a lot of modern trucks. This truck was talked about by a younger kid as it has been in his family for a few generations. If I remember correctly, it was some sort of wrecker/hauler.

57 bcr Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Damn sharp,bet he's got more in that than I have in a 100 of mine.My only question is to why he put B-83 emblems on his B-73?? Mike,its just a guess.Maybe his title & data plate say B-83! I believe part of the story on TV said his grandfather used it in his wrecking yard for like 35 years,before they restored it.I wondered the same thing the first time I saw it,also.It is a beauty though,I give it that!
